No More Turning Away

A friend recently sent me the following lyrics from Pink Floyd's album "Momentary Lapse of Reason" from 1987 . I though they were worth repeating.On the turning awayfrom the pale and downtroddenand the words they saywhich we won't understand"Don't accept that what's happeningis just a case of others sufferingor you'll find that you're joining inthe turning away"It's a sin that somehowlight is changing to shadowand casting it's shroudover all we have knownunaware how the ranks have growndriven on by a heart of stonewe could find that we're all alonein the dream of the proudOn the wings of the nightas the daytime is stirringwhere the speechless unitein a silent accordusing words you will find are strangeand mesmerised as they light the flamefeel the new wind of changeon the wings of the nightNo more turning awayfrom the weak and the wearyno more turning awayfrom the coldness insidejust a world that we all must shareit's not enough just to stand and stareis it only a dream that there'll beno more turning away?

When sending me comments for publication on this blog, please note that I will not publish comments that are anonymous or otherwise hide the identity of the sender (at least an e-mail address or on-line blog identity must be supplied).

I will also not publish comments that promote fascism or such ideologies - e.g. contributions that are obviously from the BNP or their sympathisers. I have no wish to give space on my blog to those who propagate such obnoxious views that are an insult to our common humanity and seek to deny fundamental human rights to millions of people in the UK. Such views are also an insult to those millions who gave their lives in the battles against fascism in the past. Just as I would not give up space on my blog to those who might advocate compulsory euthanasia or paedophilia, I will not give space to fascists.
